When I look at all of your photos I see a gorgeous young woman. Raw will make you feel beautiful inside and out and then you will "see" and "feel" it. For years people told me how good looking I was, but because I felt "bloated, fat, heavy....", I never could embrace it. It's all about how you feel and I just wanted to honor where you are. I do remember what it felt like. I think it has a lot to do with body image.

You're in for an amazing trip Dehlilahia. I love the photo where you're leaning on the tree, by the water. Looks so peaceful and divine.

Wishing you all the best.

Thank you for that. I know that technically I am not fat. I know that it is all a matter of perspective. But eating a poor diet makes me "feel" heavy regardless of what I look like. My weight is "ok" but I want to feeeeel amazing!

also: I really agree with both of your quotes!
